Default Help!! ASAP Please my part fell down the ac pipe

Ok guys so i was working on my xB. And then i was all done putting it back together and as i was snapping the center unit back together i noticed that the ac vents ball thing was loose so i tried to push it back in and the plastic piece
is long gone now. This is what it snaps to on the side

2nd view



This is what it looks like when it is snaped on

I was wondering if anyone knows where i can order this part. Cause the vents keeps falling down. Any help would be good thank you

Sorry i do not know how to use the tags

First off, you can order the part at your Toyota Dealer.

Second, you probably won't need to. Taking the upper dashboard off takes a little time, but it's pretty straightforward and gets you access to your vent ducting.

OR, try this. Get a pretty good vacuum cleaner, like a shop type vac. Attach a small tube to it and snake it down slowly and matbe pick it up. If you clean out the vac first anything that gets sucked up will be easy to find.

If you can get the hose to flex enuff, this is the easiest way.. just get one of the wife's old stockings and put it over the end of the hose. That way, the part won't go into the vaccuum.
NOTE: One of her fishnets will not work!!!!
